Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV. Don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Dear young fellow,

Welcome back to the forum.and thanks lot for your details.

Let me reassure you first that you don't have HIV infection and cough is not because of the same.

It is due the fact that if a person catches infection then the tests shows the same within a period of maximum 3 months. In you case there is a big gap of 3 years between the incidence and the tests.

So relax yourself for the same. Cough could be due to simple anxiety or many more cases other than HIV. So you should meet a physician and get yourself examined for simple chest allergy or chest infection.

I reassure you fully that you are free from HIV and there is no need to get tested as well as to honk regarding the same.

My all best wishes for your healthy life.
